Soms wil je graag dat er iets zou veranderen (bijv. baan, huis, relatie, spel). Ik kijk nog altijd naar huizen op Funda maar zie nooit iets beters. De enige keer dat ik wel ging kijken, schrok ik van een erg onduidelijk maar heftig gevoel. Dit is het substitutie dilemma: je zou het misschien wel willen, maar het lijkt niet te kunnen, of niet te mogen. Af en toe...

The title of my blog is also the title of a "bestselling 1964 book" by psychiatrist Eric Berne (1910-1970): Games People Play: The Psychology of Human Relationships (Amazon, BOL, Eric Berne).
